Specific implementation mode
To make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to the specific reality of the present invention The mode of applying is described in further detail.
As shown in Fig. 1, a kind of delay phase-locked loop with broadband input range provided by the invention, including phase inspection Module, Postponement module, control module, adjustment module and selecting module are surveyed, phase detecting module includes two input ports and phase Position state output port, wherein when two input ports of phase detecting module are separately connected reference clock CLK-REF and feedback Clock CLK-FB, the input port of phase state output port link control module, and phase state output port export three kinds of phases Position testing result, corresponds to feedback clock and delays and be ahead of reference clock, feedback clock and ginseng in reference clock, feedback clock respectively Examine clock synchronization;The input port I of the output port connection selecting module of control module, for exporting at least one to selecting module A control word;The input port of Postponement module connects reference clock, the input of the output port connection selecting module of Postponement module Port II, for exporting delayed clock to selecting module, delay cell includes at least one delay chain;The output of selecting module Clock after the output selection of port, two input ports of adjustment module are separately connected counting clock CLK-C and reference clock CLK-REF, counting clock CLK-C frequencies are higher than reference clock CLK-REF, and it is externally input stable period side to adjust clock Wave, reference clock CLK-REF are the work clock of DLL, the output port connection delay module of adjustment module;Control module according to The output result of phase detecting module adjusts the corresponding control word of each phase, the control that selecting module is exported according to control module Corresponding delay clock is selected as corresponding structure output by word, wherein 2 π phase clocks are feedback clock.
Wherein, A delay chain composition of Postponement module, wherein each delay chain is connected in series by identical delay cell, no Different with the delay cell in delay chain, A is the integer more than or equal to 1.Which delay chain is final delay module be operated in by adjusting Save the control signal deciding of module output.
Adjustment module includes counting unit, storage unit and comparing unit, wherein two input terminals of counting unit are distinguished Reference clock and counting clock are connected, the output port of counting unit connects comparing unit and storage unit, storage unit simultaneously Output port connection comparing unit another input port, the output port of comparison module is the output port of adjustment module; Wherein, in counting unit, counting clock and reference clock is counted, upper one in counting unit is preserved in storage unit Secondary count value, comparing unit are compared the count value stored in current count value and storage unit.
When delay phase-locked loop works, counting clock counts reference clock, counts terminate count value and storage every time Last storage value in unit is compared.When the work clock of delay phase-locked loop stablizes constant, the meter in counting unit Numerical value is constant, and the count value stored in storage unit is constant, the delay in adjustment module output control signal control delay cell Chain remains unchanged.When the variation of the work clock of delay phase-locked loop, the count value in counting unit changes, in storage unit The count value of storage changes, and the delay chain in adjustment module output control signal control Postponement module changes.If working as Under preceding delay chain, delay phase-locked loop can work normally, then be not necessarily to adjust delay chain;If under current delay chain, delay phase-locked loop without Method works normally, then comparing unit judges count results twice and exports control signal, and control signal changes in Postponement module Delay chain, and replace last counting to deposit in a storage module current count, if this delay phase-locked loop under this delay chain still It so can not work normally, then continue to adjust delay chain.
Specifically, the current clock count that adjusts of meter is C1, and the last time in memory is counted as C0, if C1>C0 then illustrates The current reference clock cycle becomes larger, and reference clock frequency reduces, when then needing to increase the delay of the delay cell in delay chain Between, adjustment module output control signal, the delay chain of selection delay bigger;If C1<C0 then illustrates that the current reference clock cycle becomes Small, reference clock frequency increases, in the delay time for then needing the delay cell in reduction delay chain, adjustment module output control Signal, selection postpone smaller delay chain;The above work is repeated, until DLL can be worked normally.
Embodiment 1
Fig. 3 gives an i=1 based on Fig. 1, the delay phase-locked loop structural schematic diagram of 4 phases of k=300, m=7, The triggering edge of wherein all modules is rising edge, and m+1 indicates the digit of the corresponding binary system statements of Ci.
The final clock of delay phase-locked loop locking is CLK_OUT, and the corresponding control word of this clock is followed successively by C [7:0], CLK_OUT is feedback clock CLK_FB.
The input and output of wherein selecting module remain following relationship:
CLK_OUT_OUT=CLK_D [a], a=C [7:0];And a ∈ [0,300].
Wherein, CLK_C is counting clock, and CLK_REF is reference clock, and the period of CLK_C is denoted as Tc, the week of CLK_REF Phase is denoted as Tr, and clock meets Tc<Tr. the counting preserved in memory module is denoted as C0, and current count is denoted as C1.
In delay phase-locked loop normal work and constant CLK_REF frequencies, C0=C1, Postponement module keeps work at present to prolong Slow chain works on;
When CLK_REF changes, then C0 ≠ C1, phase detecting module, selecting module and the control module weight of delay phase-locked loop It is new to adjust.
If delay phase-locked loop can work normally in the control range of control module, delay phase-locked loop, which continues to operate in, works as Preceding delay chain, and the value of C0 is changed to C1, continue to preserve;
If delay phase-locked loop can not work normally in the control range of control module, need to change delay chain.
Comparing unit in adjustment module is started to work, and comparing unit compares the size of C0 and C1.
If C1>C0 then illustrates the reference clock cycle before the current reference clock cycle of delay phase-locked loop is more than, then needs Delay is increased, comparing unit output comparison result, the delay chain of Postponement module selection delay bigger, phase detecting module, Selecting module and control module readjust and C0 at this time are changed to C1;
If C1<C0 then illustrates the reference clock cycle before the current reference clock cycle of delay phase-locked loop is less than, then needs Delay is reduced, comparison module exports comparison result, phase detecting module, selecting module and control module selection delay smaller Delay chain, phase detecting module, selecting module and control module readjust and C0 at this time are changed to C1;
Above step is repeated, until delay phase-locked loop energy steady operation.
The foregoing is merely the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment is not intended to limit the patent protection of the present invention Range, therefore equivalent structure variation made by every specification and accompanying drawing content with the present invention, similarly should be included in this In the protection domain of invention appended claims.
